About Graceful Home Residential Apartment

Graceful Home is a residential apartment interior located in Taipei City, with a floor area of 49.5 square meters. Leisure and brightness guide the whole design. Because the indoor space is small, sloped surfaces define the different areas, use the plan efficiently and widen the sense of sight. Iron details, coatings and imported tiles create contrasting textures. Clear lines, precise layouts and a minimalist Nordic character shape the rooms. Large windows bring daylight inside and open the views to nature.
